Thu, 29 Jul 2004 15:30:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - Having been a long time registered shopped of BUY.COM, with a share of both good and bad experiences, I was impressed when they sent me a $10 off coupon. My current wireless setup was getting old, so I used the opportunity to order a new Netgear wireless...

A bold step by Microsoft, but product needs to mature some more

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 00:07:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - Yet again, I found myself flirting with products that work at the fringes of todays technology. When I bought my 802.11a Access Point and Interface card three years ago, many thought I was loony, because very few had heard of it at that time. Let me see...

Fri, 9 Jan 2004 22:46:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - Having tried a range of cameras from 5+ mega pixel monsters to ultra-compact cameras that could truly give you the slip, I have discovered that the A70 has a nice balance of price, performance, portability and usability. It is a camera that you can buy...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - I have used Fedex, UPS and USPS for shipping frequently for more than four years. Over this period, given a choice, I have gravitated towards shipping using Fedex more often. Given a choice, I would want to receive my items through Fedex too. Fedex is...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - UPDATE: April 2007 Finally, I got rid of my nomonthlyfees account and moved to another hosting company. The last straw was when all my content was lost to a hacker. Nomonthly fees did take a backup *after* all the sites got hacked - and they only had...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - I have been a non-contract customer of Sprint PCS for more than two years now (which means that I have not signed any yearly contracts with them and am at Liberty to leave them any time I want). The fact that I have been using them all along does not...

the good, the bad and the beautiful

Thu, 7 Feb 2002 01:18:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - I pity all those who still use Palm PDAs. Except for a very strong anti-microsoft feeling, I don't see any other justification for using those lowly Palm units.

The Good:

I particularly liked the H3135, despite the lack of a color screen...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - This unit is my latest buy from Panasonic.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - I bought this unit as a replacement to my KX-TC1870B unit, which lasted me quite well and survived a lot of beating. This appeared to be the top end model in the new KX-TG series of phones from Panasonic. Unfortunately, there was no single model that had...

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 13:50:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - When I decided to go to this movie, I did not have any notions about it. Neither the star cast nor the word-of-mouth were sufficiently popular to make an influence. I went to this movie because I had tome to kill ... and I am glad that I did.

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 17:43:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sailesh - This is my first printer at home. I had used HPs and Canons at my office and was not impressed much with their color print quality.
